Visual Poem Pitch

For my visual poem, I plan on filming the process of a birthday cake being made, and the person being celebrated blowing the candles out. The goal is to tell the story of the thought that goes into making a birthday cake for a loved one. I plan on having close up and medium shots of the counter and mixing bowls as well as shots inside the oven, and maybe a wide shot of (my) family around the table saying happy birthday, because I don’t have the rights to the song. I plan on using a light, upbeat song between natural sounds like those from the beaters, the timer going off, along with other sounds from the kitchen like eggs being cracked on the side of a bowl.
